 Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2005 4:19 pm Post subject: A really really important question about Japanese Culture |
 |
|
I hope there is someone here who has lived in Japan or who has studied Japanese culture who can help me answer this urgent question...
In Karate Kid II when Daniel- san and Mr.Miagi were all set to leave Okinawa after being threated by Sato and his goons, Daniel-san met up with the Japanese chick whom he'd been sniffing asses with during his stay in the little town. She was sitting in some little shack wearing a kimono waiting for Daniel-san...after he showed up and made some lame ass joke, she proceeded to go through some elaborate tea cerimony before taking the chopsticks out of her hair and leaning across the table to kiss him.
My question is this:
If the typoon hadn't come, was the girl planning on getting filthy with Daniel-san? Was that tea cerimony a pre-cursor to banging?
Thank you |

Why? Do you have ladies offering you tea?  If the typhoon hadn't come, they would have had tea. That's it. |

Japanese girls are dead mucky, a 'friend' of mine was in a convenience store in Fukoaka buying some very questionable gentleman's magazines and the girl in front of him in the queue looked at his reading material, gave him a big smile and started on the whole "Where are you from? Do you like Japan? Do you like Miso soup?" thing.
So yes, I believe Daniel San would have been conkers deep inside of 15 minutes following the tea |

Alas, no. This is a serious question which will form the thesis for my book "The Karate Kid: The Root of Yellow Fever in America?"

But the typhoon did come so how can you know for sure? Please push aside the little crush you have for Ralph Macchio and look at this issue objectively.
1. She completed the tea ceremony
2. She let her hair down
3. She gazed at Daniel-san with those unmistakable "Pork me Karate Boy!" eyes
4. She leaned over the table and initiated the kiss
5. She reached down to undo her kimono (or maybe she was just putting her cup of tea back down on the table, i don't know, but im pretty sure she was struggling to untie her kimono)

Hummm, so even though she knew that Daniel-san was leaving Okinawa forever and she probably would never see him again, she was all set to hand over her flower to him?
What a skank. |

| Perhaps some of the romantic mystery of the story is in not knowing. Daniel is heroic in many ways but also terribly naive. If he had only action in mind when it came to this girl, he probably would have played it a bit more low key and kept himself out of trouble. Then again, they did say to him, "Maybe you no look for trouble, but trouble is looking for you!" I'm a huge karate kid fan, since I'm into martial arts. Karate Kid II is the reason I came to Korea. I thought all of Asia would be like that when I was 17. Boy was a I ever wrong. It's all chaos here, not peaceful like Japan. Anyway, I think that this girl had a bit more propriety than just serving tea and inviting him to bed. She seemed to be taking things really slowly. |

 Me too actually..The coming to Asia thing I mean, not the martial arts part.
Did you ever use the "drum technique" in competition?
Which reminds me - didn't Mr. Miagi tell Daniel-san that if the Crane Technique was done properly "no can defense(sic)"? In Karate Kid II, did he not perform it correctly or was Miagi just full of shit?
I'm going with the latter because after seeing Karate Kid I when I was a kid, I tried the Crane Techique on every kid that came within 5 feet of me and each and every one of them could defense(sic) it no problem. |

HAHA! Yeah, I thnk you're right. The crane technique is a load of shiznit. No, I never used that drum technique either, since I do Taekwondo, not japanese style karate. TKD competition focuses mainly on your speed of kicking and hitting your target. Kicking through, as it were. Anyway, I find that most western guys who are into martial arts are pretty geeky, unless they're a top international/national player. Bunch of sillies. Heck, I'm a big poser myself. But after over ten years of posing, I'm actually starting to have a good time with it. The competition days wear on you. Daniel doesnt train nearly as much as he would have to in order to be worth a dime as a real player  However, he does have a cute face, so maybe that's his redeeming quality. |

Wow. That's gotta be the best answer I've heard yet to the common question, "So why did you come to Korea?"
- "Karate Kid II."
Now that's a knockout punch. |

Oh that pissed me off too. He should have dumped Tea Leoni like a rock. I don't think the kids would have been too broken up about the divorce. |
